I am using DisplayFusion Pro with 3 monitors.
For example :
Monitor 1 : Google chrome
Monitor 2: Microsoft Outlook
Monitor 3 : my security cameras

Regularly when I make a screen small, the other three are also made small.
Is there a way when you make a screen on 1 monitor small the screens of monitor 2 and 3 just stay open?

This also happens, for example, when you click at the bottom right of the screen that minimizes all three screens. See picture.

Hi Karine,

Strange, could you send me over a video of the issue happening?

Thanks!

Hi Karine,

Thanks for sending that video over. When using that button on the taskbar, I don't believe there is a way to have it only minimize windows on one monitor.

You should be able to use the built in "Win + M" key combination to minimize all windows on a single monitor though.

Hope that helps!

Windows+m minimizes all 3 screens.
I'll take another look at it.

Hi Karine,

Interesting, what do you have your "Taskbar Mode" set to in the DisplayFusion Settings?

Thanks!

The program has a lot of options.

Hi Karine,

Interesting, I'm not too sure what's effecting that. Regardless, we also have a scripted function called "Minimize Windows on Current Monitor" that you can download (DisplayFusion Settings > Functions > Scripted Function > Download Scripted Functions) and attached a key combination to, that should do this for you.

Thanks!

Hey,
I'm going to phrase it differently. Is it possible to link a program to a screen and have that program stay in the foreground? Monitor 3, for example, are my cameras, can't I set it up so that those cameras remain constantly in the picture?

Thanks for the clarification! You should be able to do that. On the Settings > Functions tab, assign a key combination to the "Toggle Window Always On Top" function and apply the settings. Then click on the window for the security cameras and press the key combination. That will make the window topmost.

Hope that helps!

Top,
You are smart guys.
The camera screen will now remain open on screen 3.
